Status Updates From Ink: A Novel

There’s a team together to find out who stealing memories. I’m excited for them to find out it’s Owen. Owen is angry and has control over a biker gang, my assumption is that something like the Trouble will happen again.

Mike, Crow, Monk, and Patty are drawing closer to figuring out what is happening to people’s lost memories. Owen continues to suffer after taking Monk’s tattoo. We also learn that Owen cannot after either Mike/Crow, his flies won’t affect them. It seems like the flies don’t want to bother Monk further either.

Owen stole a tattoo from Monk, it was a tattoo of Tuyet. Monk can’t remember who that tattoo was of, but Owen is sick and I hope he’s suffering because he took the tattoo.

Patty can reach a place (mentally/spiritually) called the Fire Zone, where she meets a figure called Lady Eyes. I am hoping this meeting helps Patty remember Tuyet. Owen steals memories from others because he has none of his own and it gives him sexual pleasure. Monk meets Duncan, who is missing his tattoo in remembrance of his wife’s cancer. Monk will hopefully start connecting the dots. I want Owen gone.

Owen stole Patty’s memories of her daughter. A daughter of that was raped and murdered at a young age. Patty had her face tattooed on her hand and that’s the tattoo that Owen stole. Patty can’t stand to look her that hand, especially since having no memory of it and that fact that she inked over it. I’m worried Owen’s next target is Monk.

We’re finished with part I.

It seems like the flies are impacting everybody in the city. Multiple people are losing their memories and there were two scenes of people murdering others. One was of a man killing a family, maybe his own. The other was of a woman killing her mom and sister. Each scene involved a blowfly.

Owen is a sexual predator that may literally feed off of memories.
Patty is running from a traumatic past.

The tarot card reader is alive. She does a reading for Owen however doesn’t remember the reading, but was told she did complete it. Owen‘s mother probably introduced him to trauma growing up, considering she was vocal about not wanting him and she was more worried about getting high and drinking then raising him.

So the cop answers a call about a couple that hits a cow. They were arguing when the wife hit her husband causing him to hit the cow. When asked the situation that caused the argument was when the husband forgot that he got a tattoo and remembrance to his wife’s cancer, just to find out that the tattoo was no longer on his wrist. The husband was genuinely confused and the once fine cow, died.

Okay! So I’m hooked! I think the tarot card reader was killed by our mysterious bald man. The tarot cards were pulled while thinking about the fate of the town. The Ten of Swords: betrayal, painful, endings, loss, wounds, and crisis. The Magician: refers to a person that can create situations and wheels real power. The one, The Tower: total destruction. A lot of dread came to her while reading that.

There’s a dark, mysterious, gloom to the story so far
